The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Scrooge è un cortometraggio muto del 1923 diretto da Edwin Greenwood. Fin dal 1901 compaiono nel cinema muto numerosi adattamenti del romanzo Canto di Natale di Charles Dickens. Questo è uno dei tre cortometraggio realizzati in Inghilterra sul soggetto negli anni venti, e l'ultima versione muta ad essere prodotta. Il film è parte di una serie di 10 pellicole, intitolata Gems of Literature, dedicata ad adattamenti da celebri opere letterarie. Protagonista è l'attore inglese Russell Thorndike nel ruolo di Ebenezer Scrooge. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
